Conversion formula

The conversion factor from centimeters to meters is 0.01, which means that 1 centimeter is equal to 0.01 meters:

1 cm = 0.01 m

To convert 1500 centimeters into meters we have to multiply 1500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from centimeters to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 cm → 0.01 m

1500 cm → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 1500 cm × 0.01 m

L_(m) = 15 m

The final result is:

1500 cm → 15 m

We conclude that 1500 centimeters is equivalent to 15 meters:

1500 centimeters = 15 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 0.066666666666667 × 1500 centimeters.

Another way is saying that 1500 centimeters is equal to 1 ÷ 0.066666666666667 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand five hundred centimeters is approximately fifteen meters:

1500 cm ≅ 15 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero point zero six seven times one thousand five hundred centimeters.
